Unitczd S13E68 Patent 2,930,353 HOG TRAl GATE:
Albert H. Sievers, Fieldon, Ill.
Application October 17, 1958, Serial No. 767,811
3 Claims. Cl. 119-155 One of the important features of the invention is found 7 in an adjustable plate designed to be moved to selected positions and held in place so that the effective size of the gate opening is adjustable thereby excluding hogs above a selected size. However with the plate adjustable, the exclusion may be made in accordance with the discretion of the farmer.
Another important feature of the invention is the adjustment of the door fromthebottom of the gate frame. Here again, the farmer has the option of setting the door to any height within the practical limits of the gate so as to handle hogs in different size ranges.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of a gate showing it in operation.
Figure 2 is an elevational view of the gate.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
In the accompanying drawings there is a fence 10 with two fence posts 12 and 14 spaced apart and having the gate 16 located therebetween. This is only one of another of ways of using gate 16.
The gate has a main frame 18 provided with vertical side rails 20 and 22 and an upper transverse cross member 24. There is a lower transverse cross member 26 (Figure 3) attached to the lower parts of the rails 20 and 22. Side boards 28 and 30 are attached to the rails 20 and 22, and they have a lower cross member 32 extending therebetween. Cross members 26 and 32 are of substantial construction, for instance inverted channels, although this is subject to variation in large scale production.
There are resilient means opposing the movement of the door 56 in one direction. These resilient means consists of springs 70 attached at one end, for example by being spot welded, to door 56 and attached at the other end to a bracket 72. The bracket has a plurality of holes 74 to accept the hook 76 at the opposite end of spring 70. Therefore the effective tensile stress to which the spring70 is subjected for a given swing is changeable by positioning the spring hook 76 in a selected hole 74. Bracket 72 is welded or otherwise fastened to the channel member 44 so that it is vertically adjustable with the channel member and door 56, these parts moving as one unit. 7
An important feature of the invention is panel 80. A pair of angles or angle members 82 and 84 ar'e welded to'rails 20 and 22 of the main frame and are spaced from surfaces of the rails to form track '86. The side edges of panel are held captive in the track so that the panel 80 is'constrained in its movement to vertical motion with respect to the main frame. The panel may be adjusted upward or downward to alter the spacing between the lower end of-the panel and the bottom of the main frame. As a result the effective opening in the gate is controllable. After the panel 80 is adjusted, it is held in place by tightening setscrews and 92 that are carried by nuts welded onto angle members 84 and 82 or that are in tapped openings in the same angle members. The inner ends of the setscrews enter track 86 and bear against panel 80 to hold it in the correct adjustment.
Although the door 56 is vertically adjustable, panel 80 is independently adjustable to achieve the desired results.
In use, the hogs may push the door in one direction against the yielding opposition of spring 70. However, the door will not move in the opposite direction because it will contact the lower parts of the rails 20 and 22. In the absence of contacting these rails, the door 56 would contact panel 80.
Not only is the gate adjustable as to its vertical position in the main frame, but panel 80 is vertically adjustable to control the effective size of the entrance 98 formed between the lower edge of panel 80 and the bottom of the main frame and the portions of the rails 20 and 22 between the said lower edge of panel 80 and the bottom of the main frame. This excludes hogs above a predetermined size since they will not fit in entrance 98 that is controlled by door 56 and altered as to size of adjustment of panel 80.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. In an animal gate, a combination of a frame including a pair of spaced side rails extending vertically therefrom, transverse members extending between said side railsfand attachedrto said side rails to hold said side'rails rigidly secured, a first panel vertically slidable. in.said.,..
